BOLTER, H. R. Was born in Oneida County, New York, May 17, 1825. Here he attended school until 1844, when he
went to Iowa, where about four months were spent. He next went to Missouri, where he taught school one term and
then returned to Iowa. The following two years were spent at clerking in a store. We next find Mr. Bolter in New
Orleans, where he remained one winter and then again returned to Iowa. In the spring of 1849 he started across
the plains for California, and, after a long, tedious trip with ox teams, arrived at Sacramento in September of
the above year. The succeeding eleven years were spent in mining at different places, and in June, 1860, he came
to Lake County, where he has since resided. He first located in what is known as Cold Valley, where he followed
farming and stock raising until the fall of 1880. At that date he sold out and returned East on a visit, where
he remained about five months; then returned to Lake County, and is at present engaged in general merchandising
at Lower Lake.
